Longevity - Serenity - Affluence



... Do not forget my teaching,
    but keep my commands in your heart,
2 
for they will prolong your life many years
    and bring you peace and prosperity.
God: Proverbs 3:1

What do longevity, serenity, and affluence have in common? Now this is an interesting question, but the answer may be more simple than most people may think: These three are the byproduct of remembering God's commands, and keeping them (or embracing them) in our hearts. As our verse above says these tend to prolong life. God's right way of living promotes or brings peace to our beings.  And commands are designed to enhance a prosperous way of living. They are designed to bring order to our lives.

In other words, there is greater potentiality in improving our overall health, if we practice what God preaches.  In Exodus, the Bible teaches us to remember the sabbath day, for example, and keep it holy.  Billy Graham commented on this once,  and he said that the Hebrew word for "holy" and "healthy" are the same. There has been a lot of data that validates that holy living is healthy living.

I am a witness to the truth of Christ being in me, and His Holy Spirit empowering me, to overcome and be an overcomer.  I am a witness to how He does indeed give us life and give it more abundantly ... or to the full.  As a matter of fact, sharing in God's life (eternal life which begins the day we meet Jesus) has made my life immensely better.  I don't exist only.  I have the power to live both now and in eternity.  And eternity really is a case for longevity, serenity and genuine or authentic affluence.

So why not receive God's grace to practice what God, through the Bible, preaches.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
